John,
Donald Trump is once again trying to dismantle our democracy by targeting the federal civil service. His goal is to purge experienced public servants and replace them with MAGA loyalists who will obey, not serve.
Buried in the bureaucratic maze is a rule straight from Project 2025, a rule that would turn public service into a MAGA loyalty test and let Trump fire career professionals and replace them with far-right extremists.
We’re talking about doctors at the VA, analysts at Social Security, and scientists at the CDC. Trump wants to replace them with yes-men and propagandists. This is a full-blown assault on the foundation of a functioning government.
The deadline to stop this madness is TODAY. That’s when public comment closes on this scheme from the Trump-aligned Office of Personnel Management.
We have the power to stop this, but only if we act fast. Help flood the public record with opposition and make sure they know that America rejects this attack on the apolitical backbone of our republic.
Trump’s plan would inject toxic politics into every agency, from veterans’ care to climate research. It’s designed to dismantle public trust, sabotage essential services, and centralize power around an authoritarian agenda.
He’s not hiding it. His MAGA playbook wants the entire federal workforce gutted and rebuilt in his image. He already tried to do it once. Now, we must slam the door shut permanently.
With power back in Trump’s hands, the danger is greater than ever. We cannot afford complacency, not with the civil service itself on the chopping block.
We’ve beaten Trump’s overreaches before. We stopped his travel bans, his family separations, and his abuse of clemency powers. Now it’s time to stop him from turning our government into a loyalty cult.
Sign your official public comment before tonight’s May 23 deadline, every name adds pressure to shut this down.
Let’s stop Trump’s civil service purge and defend democracy.
